Khalidia Palace Hotel Dubai Earns Certified Autism Center™ Designation, Strengthening Accessible Hospitality in Deira
DUBAI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES, July 31, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Dubai, United Arab Emirates, July 2026 – The International Board of Credentialing and Continuing Education Standards (IBCCES) proudly announces that Khalidia Palace Hotel Dubai has earned the Certified Autism Center™ (CAC) designation. This achievement recognizes the hotel’s commitment to strengthening accessibility, advancing staff training, and creating a more informed and supportive hospitality environment for autistic and sensory-sensitive guests and their families.
As part of the certification process, at least 80% of Khalidia Palace Hotel Dubai’s staff completed autism and sensory-sensitivity training through IBCCES. The training is designed to help hospitality professionals better understand autistic individuals and those with sensory sensitivities, while providing practical strategies for communication, guest support, and inclusive service delivery. The certification process also included an onsite review conducted by IBCCES to assess key guest areas and provide recommendations that support a more accessible and sensory-considerate experience.
“At Khalidia Palace Hotel Dubai, we believe true hospitality means making every guest feel welcomed and valued. Achieving the Certified Autism Center™ designation reflects our commitment to creating a more inclusive environment where every guest can enjoy a comfortable stay with the warmth of genuine Emirati hospitality.”
Through the CAC designation, Khalidia Palace Hotel Dubai continues to support a more accessible guest experience for families, business travelers, leisure guests, and visitors with varying needs. The certification provides staff with a shared foundation to better support guests across key touchpoints, including arrival, check-in, guest services, accommodations, dining, and on-property facilities.
The CAC designation reinforces Khalidia Palace Hotel Dubai’s continued focus on professional development and accessible hospitality. By completing IBCCES training and certification, the hotel is better equipped to provide thoughtful service and support to autistic and sensory-sensitive guests throughout their stay.
“We are proud to recognize Khalidia Palace Hotel Dubai as a Certified Autism Center™,” says Myron Pincomb, CEO and board chairman of IBCCES. “Their commitment to staff training and accessible guest experiences reflects the meaningful steps hospitality organizations can take to help autistic individuals and sensory-sensitive guests feel more welcomed and supported.”
For 25 years, IBCCES has been a leader in providing autism, sensory, and neurodiversity training and certification for professionals worldwide, including those in healthcare, education, public safety, travel, and corporate sectors. As the only credentialing board offering these programs, IBCCES provides training from subject matter experts and autistic self-advocates, along with long-term support, continuous learning, onsite reviews, and renewal requirements to ensure continued growth and lasting impact.
To further support inclusivity efforts, Khalidia Palace Hotel Dubai is now featured on the IBCCES Accessibility App, a free tool that provides individuals with disabilities real-time guidance on certified locations, sensory-friendly spaces, and tailored recommendations. By connecting users to accessible locations worldwide, the app helps individuals and families identify organizations that have completed IBCCES certification requirements.
IBCCES also provides access to resources such as AccessibilityCertified.com and AutismTravel.com, free online tools for families that list certified locations and professionals. Each organization listed on the site has met IBCCES certification requirements.
